The Last Supper is known to be one of the most iconic photos in the Christian religion. The event was a turning point for Jesus as this was the scene in which he predicted his own betrayal from a disciple of his named Judas. This betrayal eventually leads to the death of Jesus which makes this meal the last meal all the disciples will share. Although this betrayal leads to the death of Jesus, it is a very important event because without it, Jesus would not be able to sacrifice his life on the cross to take all the sins of man and free them from eternal damnation. Jesus knew what was going to happen to him at that meal but still accepted it because he wanted to save mankind.
